I’ve never seen that LP in person. I understand in goes for $500 if you can even find it. I always dug Morpheus since I first heard it on the comp GET A BOARD from early nineties. It sounds like they must have been inspired by The Astronauts' super wet tick, tick, tick. They also do Movin’ and Baja which the Astronauts did. I did a little searching and I came up with this… The Toads LP 64-021 #12611/12612 Track listing : Morpheus Movin' Stranger on the Shore Sleepwalk Baja Will You Still Love Me? Checkmate You Can't Sit Down A Love Affair New Wrinkle Penetration Ebb Tide Medley : Money, Wipe Out,What'd I Say') Guitar : Rog Hegeman Bass : Pat Lynch Drums : Dusty Stretch Lead singer : Ben Kitchen From 1964, out of Lawrenceville,New Jersey, comes The Toads with their self-titled LP on no name label. It was produced by Kenneth Raymond Wight Associates,Princeton New Jersey. The group was the pride of the Lawrenceville Prep School in Lawrenceville,New Jersey. The group was anchored by Dusty Stretch on drums. They formed out of Davy And The Badmen and The Chessmen, another Lawrenceville band. On the back of the Get A Board LP it also says they were named The Toads "because they really jump"! Rimshot, please. Norton still sells the comp GET A BOARD and a bunch of other great Surf&Drag comps... http://www.nortonrecords.com/lps_instro_comps.php But there's no indication that they did anything else and no one has put out a full length re-issue of the Toads LP that I know of. — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Last edited: Feb 07, 2012 13:24:46 Top

The link still works: http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/16603/ The seller writes that there were only 100-150 of these pressed. Holy Grail, indeed. It would make a great reissue for Sundazed. Top
